Prepare for Crypto-Key Updating (Upgrade)

Each time the VMS software is upgraded to a new version, the Vipersat USB

Crypto-Key must be updated in order for the VMS to run on the server. An

update utility, vms-key-update.exe, is used for this purpose and is obtained by

contacting Vipersat CTAC (“Contact Information”). The following information

will be required:

Key Serial Number
Key Licensing

Both of these items can be obtained from ViperView using the following

method:

1.

Click on the Server icon in the menu bar and select Properties, as shown in

figure 2-8.

2. The serial number is listed in the Properties dialog that opens. Record this

number, or capture it as a screen shot graphic, then close the window.
